Emslandlager ("Emsland camps") were a series of 15 moorland labor, punitive and POWs-camps, active from 1933 to 1945 and located in the districts of Emsland and Bentheim, Lower Saxony, Germany. The central administration was set in Papenburg where now a memorial of these camps, the ''Dokumentations- und Informationszentrum (DIZ) Emslandlager'', is located. In Emslandlager VII camp, seven Belgian Freemasons and resistance fighters founded in 1943 ''Liberté chérie'', one of the very few Masonic lodges established within a Nazi concentration camp. ==Concentration camp Börgermoor== The first and one of the most important of these camps was the Concentration camp Börgermoor, situated near the current municipality of Surwold. Here arrived in June 1933 the first 1000 German political opponents to be held in 'Schutzhaft' (protective custody). They built from scratch this camp as well as the Esterwegen concentration camp. In 1934 the camp became a punitive camp under the supervision of the Reich Ministry of Justice, and criminals, homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses arrived in big numbers until in 1937 all the political inmates were moved to the Emslandlager Aschendorfermoor camp. Starting in 1940 arrived more and more German military personnel held in custody for desertion or unauthorized absence from their military unit. In 1942 they accounted fro the 50% of the prisoners. The Concentration camp Börgermoor was also the birth place of one of the best known protest songs, the Peat Bog Soldiers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emslandlager」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
